Former auction expert turned amateur cook and book obsessive, Luke has been writing The Greasy Spoon blog since 2007: a personal and sometimes irreverent take on the link between food and culture. He has also contributed to The Spectator Coffee House, The Dabbler and The Hotspur and has a regular blogging column for Homes and Antiques. He lives in London with his wife and book chewing whippet. Current enthusiasms include the food of the American South and London Dry Gin.
